The most pleasant of all seasons has
come again, and the vegetation is putting
on it's royal robe, which makes all nature
to seem more pleasant and cheerful. The
tired and weary ones can now, at their
leisure, sit and gaze upon the beauties of
nature, and rest their weary minds and
tired hands from the tolls of lifeI praising
God for the changes of nature, which are
so conducive to the promotion of mans
happiness in this life. The small grain
crop is beginning to make the fields look
green and promising. A few patches of
wheat are looking very fine; being high
enough to hide rabbit. The oat crop is
tolerably good, the spring sowing being
little better than the fall sowing, as gen.
eral thing.
The farmers have been busy planting
their cotton crop, but are now about done.
Some, however, are just beginning. The
dry weather of the past few weeks has
enabled them to keep up with their work.
While none are behind in their work at
pretty soon; for the grass and weeds are
coming on, and the corn will soon be
ready for work. But the farmers around
Lebanon are industrious and energetic;
and we have no fears that they will get so
deep in the grass but that they will be
able to get out by the middle Of summer.
We understand that there are some
arrangements being made to complete the
new school house which has been begun at
this place. We hope that talking about it
will not be all that is done; for it has been
standing uncovered long enough, we
think. It ought to be finished by the
first Of June anyhow, 80 that Mr. Holland
could have the use of 1t in giving his ex..
hibition. It ought to be remembered
that the patrons of the school agreed to
finish the house for Mr.. Hollands use
during the present year. The school,
though it is pretty full yet, is not 80 full
as it has been.
ALL the teachers of this lGarvin) town
ship, that we have heard say anything
about it, mean to attend the Teachers
Institute at Williamson this summer.
We hope their anticipations may be
realized, and that they may be greatly
profited by their attendance.
The Lebanon Sabbath School has recent
ly purchased library containing sixty
volumes. Those children that are
hungry for literature will not now be
compelled to overload their tender minds
with worthless literature. Last year the
school purchased seventy-eight dollar
Mason and Hamlin Organ, and it now
enjoys the privilege of giving for mis-
sions. About fifteen dollars have been
collected during the present year for mis-.
sionary purposes, besides all that raised
for purchasing the library and other lit
erature for the school.
Two or three prayer meetings are held
in the neighborhood every week; one at
the Church on Wednesday night, and one
or two at neighbors' houses sometime
during the week. These meetings are
always very well attended, which shows
the earnestness manifested in the work.
On Sunday, the 18th inst, the angel Of
death visited the family of Mr.. Joe. Frs.
kline and wife, and in it's flight carried with
it the spirit of their infant babe, aged six
weeks. Its remains were inferred in the
Lebanon Cemetery OH Monday. The be
reayed parents have our sympathies.
